Synopsis

Product Description
Grenoble born Caroline Hervé, aka Miss Kittin, has in recent years established herself as one of the most
inspiring DJs and voices to emerge within the electronic music scene. Her vocal collaborations have produced
seminal moments of dancefloor heaven. Her tracks with longstanding production partner The Hacker, such as
Frank Sinatra and 1982, propelled them both into the spotlight.
Miss Kittin released her debut solo artist album I Com in 2004, that showed her spreading her wings with jacking
Chicago house, distorted punk attitude, skanked-up dub and electronic pop as the singles Professional Distortion,
Requiem For A Hit and Happy Violentine aptly displayed.
The heavily-accented deadpan delivery over techno beats that established her notoriety on previous recordings has
been unseated by a desire to sing, to scream, to rap and to croon, all of which she manages to do with ample
helpings of sly wit and wordplay and a musical landscape that incorporates both brazen beats and intoxicating
atmospherics.

CD Reviews

Just enough old and new Kittin
Elaine Ellerton | austin, tx | 05/09/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Batbox had the same old Miss Kittin feel that I love so much, but with different, darker overtones. She doesn't use her familiar Swiss-talking accent thing throughout, in fact she sings quite a lot and she can actually sing pretty wel!

Sounds more like Ladytron than Ladytron
botski | St Paul, MN | 08/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"To explain, I find Ladytron's "604" and "Light and Magic" albums to be two of my favorite albums of all time. Their next album "Witching Hour", though decent, was a letdown for me as I felt the style was far too different than 604 or LAM. This album by Ms Kittin takes me back to the days when I heard the dark synth and danceable sounds of early Ladytron, when I was excited to have "found" a new band. This album is gritty, Ms Kittins vocals are spot on and add a definite haunting feel to each song. Any early Ladtyron fan should quite enjoy this album.



And I love that goofy synth sound on #5 Barefoot Tonight. Heard by itself, I wouldnt have been able to think of how to make it work in any song, yet Ms Kittin makes it work here. That's what separates good songwriters/producers from the rest.



One of the best albums I've bought this year."
Great Electro Album
Eric Monse | New York City | 07/17/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Miss Kitten has gotten better and better. Her early stuff had a nice formula, solid dancey beats and cool vocals. But it didn't quite hit home. I could take it or leave it.



This new album covers some excellent new ground. Her vocals are really solid. Cool and chill at some points, hooky and melodic at others.



The music has also gotten better. The beats are still fun and make you move. But there are also interesting aggressive textures and sounds mixed in to keep this on the edge. Highly recommended."
